3. Kevin Love

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been looking to trade Kevin Love for quite some time. This season, it looks like the writing is finally on the wall for the 2016 champion.

Playing in his 12th NBA season, Love is running out of time to perform at a competitive level. Though he has bee an easy scapegoat in recent years, Love still has value to a playoff-contending team.

This season, Love is averaging 16.6 points and 10.5 rebounds. He is shooting 44.8 percent from the field and nearly 40 percent from the 3-point line. He has been a double-double machine, recording one in more than half of his games this season.

He has been even more effective as his frustration grows. It’s clear through his body language that Love is ready to part ways with the Cavaliers and he has been playing at a higher level in order to boost his trade value.

Across his last six games, Love is scoring 19.2 points per game and has hit 21 3-pointers. The Warriors could absolutely use a stretch big to play in their small-ball lineup and Love seems to be a perfect candidate.
